Definitions

  • the invention is directed toward a clamping assembly, and more particularly toward a clamping assembly for attaching panels to a substrate such as a wall.
  • the walls and/or ceiling must, at first, be covered by the panels. Then, it is usually necessary to change at least a few panels from being acoustical absorbers to acoustical dispersers/diffusers and/or vice- versa. This requires removing the fasteners from the first panel and reinstalling them through either the first panel after it has been reversed or an entirely different second panel.
  • the panels are attached using conventional fasteners, for example, drywall screws in rooms having walls formed of drywall attached to studs. Drilling pilot holes in the panels for such screws or screwing through the panels causes minor damage to the panels. Screwing, unscrewing and rescrewing panels is time consuming and protracts the process of tuning a room.
  • a temporary recording studio can significantly improve the quality of the recording. Important to the success of a temporary recording studio is its ease of assembly/disassembly. The need for easy attachment/detachment of panels, as discussed above, contributes greatly to the ease of the temporary recording studio's assembly/disassembly. Moreover, a temporary recording studio, once assembled, is as likely to be reconfigured to accommodate different recording sessions as a permanently constructed recording studio.
  • the invention represents a recognition that a better technology for attaching/detaching panels to substrates (such as walls) is needed.
  • the invention represents a recognition that quick and easy reconfiguration of panels on walls can be provided by a clamp assembly for attaching the panels to the walls.
  • the first and second embodiments of the invention provide a clamp assembly including a base, a receptacle attached to the base and a clasp that fits into and attaches to the receptacle.
  • the clasp has resilient arms and a head. Insertion of the resilient arms of the clasp into the receptacle draws the head towards the base, which produces a clamping action.
  • a third embodiment of the invention provides a channel having sidewalls attached to a base and at least one fastener having a blade-like shank and a head.
  • the sidewalls converge so as to be more closely spaced together at the opening to of the channel than at its base.
  • the at least one fastener appears T-shaped in cross section, and is sized such that insertion of the blade-like shank into the channel widens the opening.
  • the fourth and fifth embodiments of the invention provide a clamp assembly comprising a first clamping piece and a clamping piece configured to cooperatively engage each other.
  • the first clamping piece has a base plate, a first shank attached to extend perpendicularly to the base plate and a first member (of a reclosable fastener pair) attached to the first shank at an end distal to the base plate.
  • the second clamping piece has a head plate, a second shank attached to extend perpendicularly to said head plate and a second member (of the reclosable fastener pair) attached to the second shank at an end distal to the head plate.
  • the base plate and the head plate are parallel when the first member and second member are connected.
  • each of the first member and second member is a strip of mushroom-shaped stems.
  • the reclosable fastener pair is a hook and loop fastener pair.

  • a trailing edge 118 of the tab 114 is beveled to promote deflection of the arm 106 toward the other arm 106 upon (and in furtherance of) withdrawal of the clasp 102 from the receptacle 112.
  • the receptacle 112 has narrow sides 122 and wide sides 124. In each narrow side 122 is a slot 126. The locking tab 114 fits into the slot 126 upon full insertion of the clasp 102 into the receptacle 112.

  • the clamp assembly 100 is preferably formed of a material that is rigid and that can be injection molded (so that the two pieces of the clamp assembly can be integrally formed).
  • a material for example, is plastic such as nylon or delrin. If the panel presents an absorptive surface to the room, then a clamp assembly made of nylon or delrin will present a small area of diffusion.

  • Figure 5 is a side view of a second embodiment.
  • the second embodiment differs from first embodiment by using a pull pin (or movable arm) 504 rather than a fmger grip 120.

  • the width of the blade-like shank 806 is slightly greater than the width of the opening of the channel 804 between the sidewalls 812 so that the blade-like shank 806 forces the sidewalls 812 apart slightly upon insertion, which causes the sidewalls 812 to grip the blade-like shank 806.
  • the surface of the shank 806 is non-smooth, for example, ringed.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé technologique rapide et commode pour fixer et favoriser la reconfiguration (en l'occurrence la dépose et la repose) de panneaux (404) sur les murs (510). On utilise à cet effet un ensemble de fixation (100) constitué, d'une part d'une base (110) à laquelle est solidarisée une douille (112), et d'autre part une agrafe (102, 502) qui s'adapte dans la douille (112) à laquelle elle se retient. L'agrafe (102, 502) est constituée de bras résiliants (106) et d'une tête (108). L'introduction des bras résiliants (106) de l'agrafe (102, 502) dans la douille (112) attire la tête (108) vers la base (110), ce qui produit un effet de retenue. Selon une autre réalisation, l'ensemble de fixation (800) est constitué, d'une part d'un canal (804) dont les parois latérales (812) sont solidaires d'une base (810), et d'autre part d'au moins une attache (802) comportant un élément central en forme de lame (806) et une tête (808). Les parois latérales (812) convergent de façon à se rapprocher l'une de l'autre de la base du canal (810) vers l'ouverture du canal (804). L'une au moins des attaches (802), qui est un profil en T, présente des dimensions telles que l'insertion de l'élément central en forme de lame (806) dans le canal (804) en élargit l'ouverture. Selon encore une autre réalisation, l'ensemble de fixation (100) est constitué d'une première pièce de fixation (1502, 1702) et d'une seconde pièce de fixation (1504, 1704) configurées de façon à coopérer en engagement l'une avec l'autre. La première (1502, 1702) et la seconde (1504, 1704) de ces pièces de fixation comportent les éléments d'une paire d'attaches refermables, tels qu'une paire d'attaches à boucles et crochets (1706) ou des bandes de tiges à têtes de champignon (1508).
